Moray & Nairn Family History Society NEWSLETTER Edition 11 June 2012 W elcome to the latest edition of the Moray & Nairn FHS Newsletter. MNFHS Chairman s Report The Society has now been active for over three years, and has made considerable progress with membership numbers continuing to gradually rise. It has not been possible to take up the proposed Great North of Scotland Family History Fair on 29 September in the Eight Acres Hotel, Elgin that was announced in our last newsletter. Not enough FHS or heritage groups signed up prior to the deadline for the deposit and myself and the Committee felt that we would have been conducting a fair at a very great loss. It is unfortunate that this has to be undertaken, especially after the success of the fairs in Elgin in 2009 and Nairn in 2010. Bruce B Bishop Auldearn Monumental Inscriptions A team of MNFHS recorders are continuing the recording of the MIs of Auldearn Churchyard. Work last month was stopped on the 13 th of May due to bad weather but work between the 20 th May and the 7 th June saw about 160 stones around the church being recorded with now only about 220 stones left to do out of an estimated 750 stones on the whole site! It should be possible to have rest completed in the coming months and be published by the end of the summer! The next Newsletter will be published in September 2012.

Tom C. Graham Member no.33. tcgtroon@gmail.com FRIDGE - My research is mainly into the Fridge family of Moray. The name is also recorded as French. I started it because I was struggling with my own surname. I didn't realise how extensive it was in the beginning so I looked up everyone with the surname and have most of the people with the surname. John R Welsh 4

Moray Miscellany Professor John Old John Shand, C.M.G, LL.D, M.A., 1834 1914 by Douglas G J Stewart The obituary told me that John Shand was born at Elgin, Morayshire, 82 years ago, and had been appointed to the Chair of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy there in 1870. Born on 22 nd January 1834, John was the second child of four and second son to Alexander Shand, farm steward and Isabella McKenzie at the farm of Westertown, near Elgin, Moray. Educated in Elgin Academy and Aberdeen University, where he obtained his M.A. degree in 1854, John Shand s first appointment was as tutor in Donald Morrison s boarding establishment in connection with Elgin Academy. In 1856, however, John Shand moved to the Military Mathematical Department of the Royal Naval and Military Academy, Gosport and in 1858 he was appointed to the position of Mathematical Master in Ayr Academy. By 1868, John Shand had taken up the same position in Edinburgh Academy. In September 1869, it was announced in New Zealand that John Shand was to be appointed Professor of Mathematics in the new University of Otago. John and his new wife, Annie Bell, left Glasgow on 22 nd March 1871 aboard the ship Wild Deer, bound for New Zealand, where they arrived at Port Chalmers, near Dunedin on 21 st June. During his early years in Dunedin John Shand involved himself in other areas; often to be found examining mathematics taught at local schools; an active member of the Otago Institute; sitting on the committee formed to consider a reference library for the University; and, was involved with mathematical competitions organised by the Chamber of Commerce and the Caledonian Society. Early in 2011, I came across an entry in the National Library of New Zealand s Papers Past website that took my attention because of the combination of the surname SHAND and the place-name ELGIN. From there, I learnt of the death of John Shand, M.A., LL.D., Professor of Natural Philosophy at Otago University, Dunedin, New Zealand. In 1876, John Shand was elected to the Education Board of Otago and in 1877 he was appointed a member of the High School Board of Governors. That same year, he was chosen as first President of the Educational Institute of Otago; and, in 1878, was appointed a Fellow of the New Zealand University. When the university made the decision to split the Chair of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in 1886, John Shand opted for the latter, and assumed the position of Professor of Natural Philosophy in Otago University. After a long and distinguished career, most of which was spent at Otago University, John Shand 5

resigned his position at a University Council meeting in April 1913. John Shand died at 73 St David Street, Dunedin, on 30th November 1914, and is interred at the Northern Cemetery, Dunedin. More detailed notes on the life and family of John Shand can be found on the Moray & Nairn FHS website, at http:///moray.asp.

Contributed by Stuart Farrell Ongoing Projects Upcoming Publications This is a small introduction to ongoing research work, which will become probably become future publications of the Society: 1 Elgin and Nairn Militia Records of the Elgin and Nairn Militia from 1798-1814. These include the Allowances to Wives and Family of Militiamen Elgin 1810 1812; Moray & Nairn Casualties of the Gordon Highlanders 1811-1814; and Nairnshire Voluntary Infantry, Pay Lists & Officers Returns 1798 & 1808. These will hopefully be published later this year. 2 Nairn Congregational Church Baptisms and Marriages of the Nairn Congregational Church of 1847-1872 and membership lists from 1847 (these sometimes note when they left the church either by death or emigration). Currently the Births and Marriages have been transcribed and work is ongoing on the membership lists. 3 Nairn Poorhouse Unfortunately the Register of Nairn Poorhouse does not survive (it was probably lost in a fire that occurred in the Nairn Town Council Clerk of Works Office in the late 1960 s) though the Minute Books survive mostly for those parishes that used Nairn Poorhouse, these include the parishes of Abernethy, Ardclach, Ardersier, Auldearn, Cawdor, Cromdale, Croy, Duthil, Dyke, Edinkillie, Nairn and Petty, though again those for Nairn do not survive, again probably for the above reason. At the moment only one Parish is left to read and take notes and hopefully the results will be published early next year. An article on Poor Law will appear in a future newsletter. 4 Poor Registers The Register of the Poor in Moray. Under the Poor Law Act of 1845 registers of poor receiving relief were maintained, these can include not only details of a pauper but their family as well. Currently copies of some of these registers are held in Elgin for which the Parish of Bellie the MNFHS have now published. Work is underway for the Parish of Alves, so watch out for future publications. 5 Monumental Inscriptions As noted on page 1 of this newsletter work still continues at Auldearn Churchyard and hopefully this will be finished shortly. It is likely that our next project will be Cawdor Churchyard & Cemetery which would also include the stones at Barevan, the former parish church of Cawdor, the latter of which has only about 100 stones. Contributed by Stuart Farrell New Publication Forres Cluny Hill Cemetery The Moray Burial Ground Research Group has published the Monumental Inscriptions from Cluny Hill Cemetery, Forres (Parish of Forres, Moray). The cemetery dates back to 1849. Published in an A4 format of 210 pages and with 3 colour plates. See the Moray Burial Ground Research Group web page www.mbgrg.org for details on how to order. 6
